Day 70.2: More Myths from Seiran!

[sunshowerdandelion]

I wrote Seiran telling more about the Lunarian-borrowed A Bao A Qu story. I think Reisen really wants to impress that Luna was not a happy place, and was full of oppression and colonialism, but Seiran is more resistant. Reisen has a new-convert zeal for earth, I think, which Seiran can sense: She's trying to flatten Luna, and while Seiran is no Lunarian apologist, she nevertheless has a more recent experience of Luna, and is ready with lived experience to counter Reisen's flattening. What she'll probably say is: Yes, Luna is a colonial society, but to pretend that everything in it is bad is not truthful. And of course Reisen will probably say: Yes of course, but you have to see the bigger picture...

Now I have to work out how this will figure in their love, Seiran's one-sided attraction and Reisen's sometimes-friendly attachment, and how to make this interesting to readers, but I think I have the bones down.
